Resume Critiques!

Whether you’re going for your first internship or your fifth, your resume needs to be on point if it’s going to impress hiring editors. Luckily, Ed on Campus is here to help!

Once each semester, EOC holds a virtual resume critique. Here’s how it works: You submit your resume to your campus chapter president, and he or she sends it over to get reviewed by a New York City editor working in the biz. Brilliance ensues.

CHAPTER PRESIDENTS: Please gather all of your chapter members’ resumes into ONE email with a subject line “Ed on Campus Virtual Resume Critique” and send them to us at Elizabeth@ed2010.com.

DUE DATES: Fall semester resumes are due on October 15th. Spring semester resumes are due March 15th.

REQUIREMENTS: All resumes must be ONE page long and submitted in PDF form (labeled as FirstNameLastName.pdf). Any resumes that do not meet these criteria will not be reviewed. Seriously.

ONE LAST TIP: Pretty please, save yourself (and the editors!) a ton of time, ink and frustration by following the advice here and here.

Media Interns: Earn $1200! Apply for Ed’s Trust Fund!

Don’t have a trust fund? Ed’ll give you the cash! (Who’s your daddy now?) Ed knows what it’s like to be an unpaid intern—eating ramen noodles every day, temping for cash, scrounging just about anything from the giveaway tables at work just because it’s “free.”

To help you out, Ed’s gonna give awesome unpaid media interns $1,200 to use for living, travel and whatever other expenses. Assuming Ed can raise the dough, Trust Funds will be given out three times a year: Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Fall term: Application must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on November 15
Spring term: Application must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on February 15
Summer term: Application must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. by May 30

Chapter Progress Reports

Ed wants you to tell him about what your campus chapter has been up to this semester. If you’re an EOC executive member, keep an eye on your Ed On Campus email for a survey about your chapter’s progress (hence the name). Fall semester surveys will be sent Monday, December 5. They are due December 31.
